We love our care group

One of the greatest things about our church here in Louisville, is our amazing care group. We get together about twice a month for accountability, prayer, and fellowship and our times together are always so sweet. It is amazing how God can bring people together from so many different backgrounds and allow us to live in community with one another. We love our care group so much!

Last night we all got together for a going away party for our leaders, Ben and Chelsea. To express our complete sadness at their move to California later this month, I made them a poop cake. I got this idea from a bakery in town but was not about to pay the hefty price tag they were charging for it. So I decided to make one myself for less than $5.

We'll miss you Saunders family!
